About this listen

Brought to you by Penguin.

When you don't know The Rules it's hard to stay safe. After a traumatic incident, Aster finds that her blood work comes back with some unusual readings. Unsurprising, as she's the last of an alien race called the Kibsu. But Aster doesn't know this. Immediately, Aster finds herself the focus of a hunt, with her mortal enemies, the Trackers, on one side, and the American government on the other. There seems to be nowhere she can run. But help often comes from the most unexpected quarter... One thing is certain. Whoever finds Aster first will hold the fate of the Kibsu - and our world - in their hands.

I just feel like this had far too few reviews for how excellent it is.

Absolutely loved it! It’s a great conclusion to a brilliant story, Sylvain Neuvel has become one of my favourite authors!! The narration was perfect as well especially Imogen and Lance I will definitely look out for more books narrated by them.

Amazing!!

This last book almost got 4 stars. I think you’ll know why it didn’t. Great end to another fantastic trilogy.

Great Trilogy

A brilliant epic story that is so subtly embedded in historical fact that takes you on a wonderful journey.
Don’t let your mind wander though!

The scope and detail is extraordinary

I thought the ending was a bit lazy and disappointing. Also in the last quarter, some plot points make little sense. Overall though, I enjoyed the series.

Great concept, but..
